Chapter 530: An Inexplicable Mortal Grudge!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the depths of the universe, a figure with fiery red hair and a burly build like a small giant strolled over. His body emitted a powerful aura. As soon as he appeared, many Laws in the universe retreated.

A Grand Emperor. This was another Grand Emperor!

“Grand Emperor Guxi!”

The Grand Emperor Scorpius’s tone was solemn as he called out the name of this unfamiliar Grand Emperor. However, he was actually introducing him to Lin Feng.

“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, this Grand Emperor Guxi is close with Grand Emperor Igneous. He probably can’t stand Grand Emperor Igneous becoming your stepping stone to get to your position, so he’s making things hard for you with his remarks.”

Grand Emperor Scorpius sent a voice transmission to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. How interesting. Even Grand Emperor Igneous did not show up, but this Grand Emperor Guxi did. Could he be stronger than Grand Emperor Igneous?

Grand Emperor Guxi glanced coldly at Grand Emperor Scorpius and frowned slightly. Could the Grand Emperor of Annihilation be related to Grand Emperor Scorpius? But it didn’t seem like the case either. action

Hence, Grand Emperor Guxi ignored Grand Emperor Scorpius and stared coldly at Lin Feng.

“Grand Emperor Guxi, you want to stand up for Grand Emperor Igneous?” Lin Feng asked directly.

“Hmph, it’s one thing for old Igneous to embarrass himself, but he actually dragged the other Grand Emperors like us down to the level of a mere Venerable too. A Venerable is just a Venerable. You’ll never become a Grand Emperor!”

“You can try if I’m a Grand Emperor for yourself.”

“You’re just a Venerable. I’ll show you what a true Grand Emperor is like!”

“Do you think that Grand Emperor Igneous isn’t a true Grand Emperor?”

“You…”

Grand Emperor Guxi gritted his teeth in anger, but he seemed to be wary about something and had no intention of attacking. Instead, his face was dark from anger.

“What, you don’t dare to fight? I think you’re not Grand Emperor Guxi, but Grand Emperor Windbag.”

Lin Feng was not afraid of verbal altercations.

As for offending a Grand Emperor completely, Lin Feng cared even less about it. Although Grand Emperor Guxi was a veteran Grand Emperor, Lin Feng was not afraid of him if they really fought.

Moreover, Lin Feng had the Tidal Combat Body, the Greater Annihilative Combat Body, and even the Void Traversal Combat Body. Among his three Laws, there was also the precious Law of Space. They were all advanced planetary Laws, and each had its own wonders.

Forget about Grand Emperor Guxi, even if a few more Grand Emperors came, Lin Feng could leave whenever he pleased. No one could keep him here.

As soon as the words “Grand Emperor Windbag” were spoken, many surrounding cultivators could not help but smile. Grand Emperor Scorpius even laughed out loud. “Haha, Grand Emperor Guxi, when did you become Grand Emperor Windbag?”

“How dare a mere Venerable say this?”

Grand Emperor Guxi had lived for countless millennia. Never had he been mocked like this. For a moment, his killing intent surged as he glared at Lin Feng.

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, why didn’t Grand Emperor Guxi attack after I humiliated him with words like this?”

Lin Feng could sense Grand Emperor Scorpius’s “affinity” to him. Moreover, Grand Emperor Scorpius did not hesitate at all when facing Grand Emperor Guxi. He could be considered to be on Lin Feng’s side.

Hence, Lin Feng did not hesitate and asked Grand Emperor Scorpius directly.

“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, the third wave of the Big Bang is imminent. Grand Emperor Guxi is probably appearing at this time to fight for the new substances during the third wave of the Big Bang. This is an opportunity he’s been waiting for a long time. If he engages you in a great battle, he’ll miss the opportunity.”

Lin Feng nodded. From the looks of it, Grand Emperor Guxi really just wanted to vent some frustration verbally, humiliate Lin Feng, and avenge his old friend, Grand Emperor Igneous.

However, he did not expect to be so angered by Lin Feng that his entire body trembled, and even receive the crude nickname of “Grand Emperor Windbag”. In the eyes of Grand Emperor Guxi, this was simply a great humiliation.

Just like that, Lin Feng and Grand Emperor Guxi had inexplicably become mortal enemies. As long as Lin Feng was still around, “Grand Emperor Windbag” would probably continue to make a laughingstock out of Grand Emperor Guxi.

Although he had inexplicably become mortal enemies with a Grand Emperor, Lin Feng did not care much about it. If not for the fact that Grand Emperor Guxi had taken the initiative to provoke him, would he have countered it?

Moreover, although he was a Venerable and had just obtained the combat power of a Grand Emperor, he was not a “pushover” to just any Grand Emperor. Lin Feng would even like to use Grand Emperor Guxi to establish his authority.

In any case, they had become mortal enemies. If it could not be resolved, they could only think of ways to kill the other party!

Grand Emperor Guxi stopped talking. Occasionally, his gaze filled with killing intent would linger on Lin Feng.

At this moment, Raymond came over, followed by Yu Jing and Long Wu.

“Greetings, Grand Emperors!”

The three of them bowed respectfully to Grand Emperor Scorpius and looked at Lin Feng.

“What is it?”

“Grand Emperor, we’ve just discussed it. We’ve already obtained a lot of new substances in the first two waves of the Big Bang. The gains this time have long exceeded our imagination. Therefore, we have decided to not participate in the third wave of the Big Bang.”

“Oh, you’re not participating anymore?”

Lin Feng looked at Raymond in surprise. Who would worry about having too much new substance?

Raymond said helplessly, “Grand Emperor, I’m afraid even some Grand Emperors will participate in this third wave of the Big Bang. If we continue to participate, it’ll probably get too dangerous.”

Lin Feng understood now. Raymond and the others had a clear understanding of the current situation.

In the past, basically only cultivators below the level of Grand Emperors would compete for new substances during the first three waves of the Big Bang. Grand Emperors thought little of them, and generally would not participate.

However, something seemed to be different this time. Even Grand Emperors seemed to be tempted to participate in the third wave of the Big Bang. In fact, Grand Emperor Igneous even participated in the second wave.

This was somewhat unusual.

Raymond and the others were actually very rational to see the situation clearly, restrain their greed, and take the initiative to give up on participating in the third wave. Lin Feng did not need to guess to know that this must be Raymond’s decision.

After Raymond and the others bade farewell and left, Grand Emperor Scorpius also nodded approvingly and said, “They know when to advance and when to retreat, and are not controlled by greed. Not bad, these three people are worth befriending!”

Even Grand Emperor Scorpius approved of Raymond and the others. Just the gains from the first two waves had benefited the three of them infinitely. There was no need to continue taking risks.

Only by knowing when to advance and retreat, and not being controlled by greed, could one advance further on the path of cultivation.

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, you want to participate in the third wave of the Big Bang too?”

“That is right.”

Grand Emperor Scorpius nodded. This made Lin Feng even more confused.

“Don’t Grand Emperors refrain from participating in the first three waves? Why are there exceptions this time?”

“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, you do not know?”

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, please enlighten me.”

Grand Emperor Scorpius thought for a moment and said, “You weren’t a Grand Emperor before, so you might not have received the news. The scale of this Big Bang far exceeds that of past ones, and it can spew out a large amount of new matter. It has even attracted some Grand Emperors and Divine King-level experts who have settled down in the depths of the universe. Hence, the Grand Emperors can no longer wait, and are already participating in the Big Bang during the third wave.”

“I see.”

Lin Feng nodded. So this was the background of the Big Bang. The scale was far larger than before? Then, perhaps new substances containing Chaotic energy would appear in the third wave of the Big Bang.

This was very attractive to the various Grand Emperors indeed.

Lin Feng was no exception. He needed more Chaotic energy to further promote his combat body, and even push it to consummation again.

Hence, if Chaotic energy appeared in this third wave of the Big Bang, Lin Feng was determined to obtain it!

Suddenly, Lin Feng’s gaze swept across the distant Grand Emperor Guxi. A thought in his mind became even stronger.

“Grand Emperor Scorpius, I have already made a mortal enemy of Grand Emperor Guxi. If we meet, we will definitely fight to the death! Therefore, I must get rid of Grand Emperor Guxi. I need the Grand Emperor Scorpius’s help for this. What is your answer?”

With that, Lin Feng stared intently at Grand Emperor Scorpius.

Whether they became acquainted after a fight, hit it off at first sight, or were having a pleasant conversation, and no matter how close they were now, none of it could erase the fact that they had only just met. Grand Emperor Scorpius clearly wanted to befriend Lin Feng, and even wanted to team up with him to participate in the third wave of the Big Bang, in order to compete for new substances with the other Grand Emperors.

How could Lin Feng trust Grand Emperor Scorpius?

After all, both parties had stayed in the North River Galaxy before, and had seen too many betrayals for benefits.

The fact that Lin Feng had made this request so rashly was also a test. Grand Emperor Scorpius naturally knew this. Hence, it was up to Grand Emperor Scorpius to weigh the pros and cons now.

The atmosphere between the two of them chilled all of a sudden, as if cold water had been poured on it.

Lin Feng smiled all of a sudden and said slowly, “That was a difficult request on my behalf. Grand Emperor Scorpius, forget it.”

Lin Feng’s tone was very calm, as if nothing had happened just now. However, Grand Emperor Scorpius knew that this was obvious “distancing”.

“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, you underestimate me too much. I see nothing difficult about killing a mere Grand Emperor Guxi!”

Grand Emperor Scorpius sent a voice transmission to Lin Feng. His tone was filled with determination, as if he had already made up his mind.

“Good. I was right about you, Grand Emperor Scorpius!”

Lin Feng laughed heartily. The two of them chatted amicably, like old friends who had reunited after a long time. No one would believe that Grand Emperor Scorpius and Lin Feng had only truly “met” today.

Who would have thought that the two of them, who had just met, would already be plotting in secret to kill a Grand Emperor?

This was too insane. It might be easy to defeat a Grand Emperor, but very difficult to kill one.

“Grand Emperor of Annihilation, when should we attack?”

A sharp glint flashed across Grand Emperor Scorpius’s eyes as well. It seemed like he was also a very bold Grand Emperor. If they failed to kill Grand Emperor Guxi, it would be a feud to the death!

“Once the third wave of the Big Bang has calmed down, we’ll attack immediately! At that time, most of the Grand Emperors will enter the third wave of explosions at the first opportunity. They’ll all be fighting for new substances with all their might. Grand Emperor Guxi will definitely let his guard down. Then, we’ll kill Grand Emperor Guxi directly with overwhelming force!”

A trace of killing intent flickered in Lin Feng’s eyes. For some reason, Grand Emperor Guxi had become mortal enemies with him. Since they were mortal enemies, he had to do everything he could to kill his enemy, even if the other party was a Grand Emperor!

To other Grand Emperors, it might be very difficult to kill a Grand Emperor, but to Lin Feng, who had the Greater Annihilative Combat Body and comprehended the Law of Annihilation, killing a Grand Emperor was not that far-fetched.

The most important thing was that someone had to hold off Grand Emperor Guxi for him, and Grand Emperor Scorpius was the most suitable candidate.
